The position of a particle in the xy-plane at time t is r(t) = (t + 3)i + (t^2 - 5)j. Find an equation in x and y whose graph is the path of the particle. Then find the particle's velocity and acceleration vectors at t equals 4. Is the velocity constant? What is the particle's initial position?

${r}(t)$ is the position of a particle in the $x y$ -plane at time $t .$ Find an equation in $x$ and $y$ whose graph is the path of the particle. Then find the particle's velocity and acceleration vectors at the given value of $t .$ \begin{equation} \mathbf{r}(t)=\frac{t}{t+1} \mathbf{i}+\frac{1}{t} \mathbf{j}, \quad t=-\frac{1}{2} \end{equation}
